Going to change my dash lights on my 98 Type R to blue. Had a search but didn't come back with much. Anyone done this before or has any handy hints.
Thanks

Had a look in Maplins and RS today...........Seems they can supply the same bulbs as the car currewntly has, but in BLUE, RED, YELLOW or ORANGE :D

Answer your question?

iv'e just tried this on my 99 model.
got the LED's from www.ultraleds.co.uk

need about 10 off theses "(286) Dash Board Slim wedge bulb Blue" £1.18 each
and 1 off these " (501) Blue Ultra Bright Frosted Bulb " £2

not sure of the result as it seems a bit to dark to see the clocks clearly, but mine wasent so bright with the standard bulbs.

Easy job, undo the 2 screws in top of cowling, remove. 3 more screws holding clocks in place, then tilt the clocks forward and pull off the 3 wiring loom clips on top of clocks, i just managed with a lot of fiddlin to get the clocks out of dash.

then there are two more bulbs in heater controls.
remove all the cowling andd the 4 screws securing the controls. try and clip the control cover off after removing the knobs etc. you can pull the bulbs gently with some pliers.

easy lol
